Atomic

Happy 2013, my dear readers! I’m back to blogging after taking a bit of a break. It’s good to be here again.

Here’s a sign whose explosive letterforms seem ready to burst from the façade. There’s more than one mood here. The “O” looks bashful, trying to hide behind the “T”, while the “C” looks aggressive and ready for trouble.

The sign’s location beneath the shop window is ideal for grabbing the attention of pedestrians. I love the way the pipes that emerge from the sidewalk are enlisted in the colour scheme. This sign’s comic book energy is infectious.
